I think it's less of a "you console players are dumb" thing, and more of a game development holdover from the days when low TV resolutions made finding weapons/items difficult due to the poor detail.
Personally, I think console players
are dumb, though. In general.
Well I started playing video games on Consoles before PC starting with the NES and Master System, passing by the SNES, Genesis, GameBoy, GameGear, PS, Saturn... and so on, until the original XBOX, and the number of games I've played in which obvious "puzzle" clues were glowing or other items did so were extremely rare, and when I did find such a game I felt humiliated.
It's like telling me where to go with a pointer on a radar for my next quest/mission in any games with such quests and missions, I find that extremely stupid, and they do it in the name of "convenience" or I don't know what else, like Oblivion, or Morrowind, or Fallout 3, hey, let's create a big open-ended world to explore, but let's allow players to fast travel making the size of the game world practically futile, and let's tell them where to go next so that the next thing they can do is to complain how short the game was.
I never felt dumb as a Console gamer, and Consoles have received such a negative view from supposedly more mature PC gamers, but it's strange, when I play TF2 and Left 4 Dead and UTIII and Crysis Warhead on-line I certainly don't feel like PC gamers are that much mature, do I even have to mention Counter-Strike? That one game that you would swear would be on Consoles only? I've heard 10 years-olds playing that damn thing and I'm not exaggerating to give myself the last word, it's true, immature and players below the ESRB rating play lots of PC games today.
But anyway... it's getting off-topic.
I just think that Legendary feels too much of a Console port, and that the decision by the developers to make things glow to make the game easier and themselves probably thinking that it's actually a good idea only makes me wonder who's really stupid with Consoles, the immature players or the illogical developers? Probably only God knows for sure, and even then... yeah developers over time probably didn't helped things with Console games. The thing is I don't remember in my 15 years of playing games on Consoles ever demanding to developers to make things glow in games because I couldn't find that stupid lock to destroy in the last adventure game I couldn't finish.
It's the developers' fault, they are paranoid about making things fast-food. Now, rant aside, I think that the Legendary's demo is decent, it's just "ok" you know, nothing much to be wowed about, nothing to be wowed about in fact, it's just alright, could be fun one or two times, for $15 I would probably get it.
